Theanine is a unique amino acid found almost exclusively in green tea that exerts beneficial effects on brain metabolism.* Theanine induces relaxation without causing drowsiness, as measured by increased generation of alpha-waves.* Theanine may improve learning ability and sensations of pleasure by affecting dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitters in the brain.* Also, theanine exerts protective effects on the brain by mitigating glutamate toxicity.*
Jarrow Formulas® Theanine is made enzymatically from amino acids and is identical to the theanine found in green tea.

I love tinctures as they allow the body to immediately work with the plant medicine. This tasty and beautiful tincture is working to soften my heart, allow me to be kinder to others as well as myself and brings me joy. I am forever grateful to the herbalists who made this happen for all of us.
I love this protein supplement. Such a great way to boost my protein intake. Without a blender, it is a little challenging to mix with the Oak Milk I use which is why I give it 4 stars instead of five.
